Came here for drinks with my girlfriends and had a great time! Cocktails are delicious and vibe is great. Thursday is ladies night so first drink is free and all other drinks are half off after. Great place!

Can't say enough good things about this spot! Have only gone here for drinks a few different times. Great atmosphere and truly crafted cocktails. I always try and stop in when I'm in the area for dinner.

Service was deplorable. The server was incoherent and disorganized. She forgot to order food with the correct timing so it came out very staggered. Drinks were extremely small. A $17 martini was done in two sips.Towards the end of the meal, she went and had a smoke, then when we flagged her down, she handed the check off to another server. He then dropped our check and then never returned. We had to flag down a host to process our bill.The food was very good and the drinks, although they were basically shots, were also very good.If I were to return her, I would sit at the bar. That way, the server would never be out of sight.

Such a lovely location. Great service, sophisticated and beautiful aesthetic, and some pretty good drinks. You take a seat at the bar and you get these beautiful menus, olives, and snacks. Really enjoyed the dolce far niente cocktail. Served in a unique pouch and was super cool. Would definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.Now for my standard comments. Location was very clean and seating comfortable.

Early dinner as we had to catch a show at the Wellmont. Amazing food especially the Appetizers! Great ambiance. Host Justin was super nice and accommodating. Our server was not very good. Took a very long time to take our drink orders and not attentive all evening. Restaurant wasn't busy at the time.

We had great dining experience at fresco da Franco. First off service was great. Jonathan was very helpful and patient as it was our first time eating there. The food was delicious as well. The tar tar appetizer was so fresh and the perfect amount. Also we had the red snapper which was really good and the lumache pasta was great it was not too spicy just the right amount of kick. Can't wait to come back!

We enjoyed lunch in a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. The chicken milanese is wonderful (it was not on the menu, but was recommended to us). Rich, our waiter, was personable and sweet.
